Specifications
The TCTF Specification Process provides an open and transparent framework for the development of community-driven, open source-friendly specifications.
Specifications
The Cometbid Technology Foundation facilitates the development of code-first, open specifications that enable the compatibility, interoperability, and sustainability of both proprietary and open source independent implementations. Specifications at TCTF are developed through the TCTF Specification Process. The TCTF Specification Process provides a defined, structured, and trusted legal framework and governance process for the development of royalty-free open specifications based on mature open source processes. The TCTF Specification Process allows the community to develop specifications in a vendor neutral, community-driven way. All specifications produced under the TCTF Specification Process are designed to enable independent implementations in any open source or commercial application.
A Proven Approach
Community Driven
Our specification process is designed to be inclusive of everyone from the largest corporations to motivated individuals.
Flexible
Specifications allow implementations to have the highest degree of flexibility and interchangeability for adjustments, enhancements, replacements, and upgrades.
Ecosystem Enablement
Our specification processes enable independent implementations under both proprietary and open source licensing models.
Investment Protection
Specifications reduce the risk of vendor lock-in by ensuring implementations meet compatibility and interoperability requirements.
Vendor Neutral
Open and transparent development processes allow individuals and organizations to collaborate on specifications. Well-documented governance policies and processes ensure that the results are developed and delivered in a vendor neutral manner.
Open Source
The TCTF Specification Process complies with the Open Standards Requirement for Software established by the Open Source Initiative, ensuring that all TCTF specifications can be implemented in open source.
Proven
The TCTF Specification Process is built on years of open source stewardship and used by multi-billion-dollar technology ecosystems.
Compatibility and Branding
The TCTF Specification Process allows for the development of compatibility brands. Established compatibility brands clearly identify the compatibility, interoperability, and sustainability of production-ready open source and commercial implementations.
